The next advancement in air-conditioning is here. Replacing the dinosaur window air-conditioning units are high-efficiency ductless, mini-split systems. A 2013 National Association of Home Builders survey, “What Homebuyers Really Want,” revealed that more than half of U.S. homeowners say the quality of their home’s HVAC system is essential. Energy Star-rated appliances were rated either essential or desirable by 94% of homeowners in this survey.
“Ductless cooling and heating technology represents the crossroads of these two requirements for quality HVAC and energy efficiency,” says Mike Smith, senior marketing manager of residential products at Mitsubishi Electric’s U.S. cooling and heating division. “It provides individual temperature control, installation flexibility, energy efficiency and quiet operation that traditional central systems or window units cannot match, regardless of the application.”
